Scarlett was surrendered to the New Hampshire SPCA by a family who said she outgrew their expectations. Fyfe said families who get tiny piglets because they think a piggy is "cute," are then surprised when they grow into a 100-pound porker.

“Not necessarily all pigs end up being teacup or miniature,” Fyfe said. “We’re seeing people run out of time, they don’t have the experience or the knowledge to take care of these guys.”

“We’ve so enjoyed having her, she’s been so much fun, but she’s ready,” Fyfe said.

The shelter has at least two more pot belly pigs that will also be looking for new families.

More than 80,000 pets were adopted through the 2017 Clear the Shelters campaign, a nationwide push to place deserving animals in forever homes. Join the conversation on social media using #ClearTheShelters.
